Measure Trash to Build Wealth with Charlie Dolan

Charlie Dolan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sequoia Waste Solutions. Sequoia Waste Solutions, SWS, manages companies' trash and recycling services using innovative technology to reduce overall cost and provide detailed, transparent services.

Founded in 2011 with his brother Brian, Charlie noticed untapped potential in the waste management industry. Charlie recognized a lack of innovation happening in this industry that is historically slow to adopt new technology. So, he jumped to fill that space.

Since, Charlie and his brother Brian Dolan, Co-Founder and President, have grown SWS from a small management service to an asset light, service oriented technology firm based in Pittsburgh. Brian founded SWS while still in college at Villanova University and has remained a patient innovator ever since.

In this episode, Aaron and Charlie discuss how Charlie iterated on different business strategies for Sequoia Waste Solutions starting in college, how boot-strapping SWS has helped them succeed, and why being patient to a fault has served him well as an entrepreneur.
